SXSW Partners With Amazon To Stream Film Festival

The SXSW Film Festival Collection will stream on Prime Video for 10 days, completely free in the US. If creators opt in, they will receive a screening fee for the run.

Amazon and SXSW are tentatively looking at a late April timeframe for the virtual festival, according to engadget.com.

Janet Pierson, SXSW director of film, said the festival has been looking for an opportunity to support the filmmakers who lost out on their premieres since the cancellation order, according to UPI.com.
